Sandbox
At Samkorn Thai Tech, some investors approached them, but Jirapat intervened because they were trying to steal information. Pafhan invited Korn to celebrate a birthday party at the beach, with Jirapat joining as well. When Pafhan and Alice saw Korn coming to the Sandbox, they realized he wasn't actually a businessman. However, Pafhan asked Korn to hire her as the president of Samkorn Thai Tech.
Hackathon
Samkorn Thai Tech develops a program to detect fake and edited images. Alice creates an AI that can quickly manipulate images. Mark lets the Samkorn Thai Tech advance to the next round because he sees Korn's potential and thinks they were given too little time to fix their code. Pafhan wonders why Jirapat has to help them.

Korn accidentally meets his grandmother at the hospital and learns that she is in the early stages of Parkinson's disease.

Pafhan returned to working on the project to help the elderly and people with Parkinson's disease. Grandma asked Pafhan which Korn she liked more from the letters 15 years ago or in the present.
Back Up
Pafhan searched for companies that invest in CSR initiatives. Korn told her that Grandma was in the early stage of Parkinson's. Pafhan went to Morning Group and found Korn kneeling to apologize for damaging the company's property. She played the audio clip of how they had tricked her and used it as blackmail to make them support True Angel as a CSR project.
Risk
Alice Company faced protests because another company reduced its number of employees. Korn's father became very angry when he found out Korn was not actually the company's president.

Grandma told Jirapat to bring Pafhan's latest letter to give to Korn.
Demo Day

Exit
Korn told Mark to take all five members of Samkorn Thai Tech. The team presented True Angel, which had lower stated accuracy than the sensors from Alice Company, but during testing it proved to be more accurate. Mark and Good Goal offered to acquire Samkorn Thai Tech. Jirapat tried to step in and stop the signing of the contract.
Acquire
Jirapat realized it was an acqui-hire, but he was too late to stop it. Good Goal fired Pafhan and Yayha, taking only three developers with them. Korn told Jirapat that Grandma was in the early stage of Parkinson's. Pafhan encouraged Korn to let go. The three of them went to America, and Pafhan started anew by applying for a job at Alice Company.
